1# Lyricli (lrc)
2
3A command line tool to show the lyrics of your current song.
4
5## Usage
6
7Lyricli can be invoked with the command `lrc`.
8
9```
10$ lrc [-t]
11```
12
13When you run it without arguments, it will look in the available source
14to try to find a playing song and extract the lyrics. If you include the
15`-t` flag, it will show the song and artist names before the lyrics.
16
17```
18$ lrc [-t] <artist_name> <song_name>
19```
20
21When you run it with arguments, it will use them to search for the
22lyrics. This won't work if you manually disable the arguments source in
23your configuration file. If you include the `-t` flag, it will show the
24song and artist names before the lyrics.
25
26### Commands
27
28In order to configure sources, lyricli provides a few commands:

32* `lrc -e` or `lrc --enable-source <source>` enables a source
33* `lrc -d` or `lrc --disable-source <source>` disables a source without
34 resetting its configuration.
35* `lrc -r` or `lrc --reset-source <source>` resets the configuration
36 for a source and disables it.
37
38And you can print the help or the version:

43## Building
44
45In order to build this project, you'll need a genius client token. See
46the [genius api docs][genius_api_docs] for more information.
47
48The Makefile will read the values from a `.env` file, so you can copy the
49`env.dist` file and fill the values there.
50
51You can build for development just by running make. You can specify the
52profile using the profile environment value `-e profile=release`.
53
54```
55# Build for dev
56make
57
58# Build for release
59make -e profile=release
